Winter will be here soon, so it’s time to talk about winter sports. I have kids who may become interested in snowboarding or skiing soon. As a protective parent, should I suggest the sport with the 62% lower risk of injury (skiing) or the one with a 61% lower risk of death (snowboarding)?

I think that Mpora’s math is wrong where it points out, “Snowboarders…33% less likely to be fatal,” though. Using the raw numbers in the full article, I calculated that a snowboarder being 61% less likely to suffer a fatal accident than a skier.
